I'd like to imagine it causing some situations similar to this.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yes I will have one round of video games please

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago (2 children)

25 Minute Civilization rounds are a thing. Just one more round bro

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Battlefield rounds can easily be that too. In custom matches in can be 1½ hours!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

You can tell this if your man starts replying in one minuite, but gets progressively slower and slower until it's one hour each by the end.

No you're talking to a guy who's letting an llm do the groundwork.

Would probably be a lot faster if he was

This is what happens when your boobs can no longer distract people from their lives and you have to fall back on your lack of a personality.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 8 months ago

Pretty yikesy take. If your first response to a post is to reduce someone to a sex object, that's some incel-ass vibes.

Controversial opinion, but actually all most people have to go on is their appearance/perceived wealth. It's not a female problem though it's people generally. They're all completely vacuous. Take away their boobs/abs and they're dull as fuck.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (5 children)

Or, alternatively, you have difficulty relating to others and so all you notice is their "appearance/perceived wealth".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I can certainly say this is the case for me. I don't know many men or women I have any real interest in getting to know better let alone actually become romantically involved with. I used to just go off physical attraction and try to power through the relationship by faking interest in whatever they wanted to talk about and being funny which could usually carry it for a few months before they got bored of me. At this stage of my life though I've gotten over the "need to be in a relationship to feel complete" thing so now I just don't try to date.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

You might find you fit under the aromantic umbrella, if you're looking for others in your situation. It's certainly a valid state to be in, and I hope that not having to seek out romantic relationships has made your life more fulfilling.

What I'd caution (or what I found particularly irritating in the comment I initially replied to) was implying that one is superior and all others are vacuous shells of human beings, which just comes across as pompous and arrogant.

I’m actually thinking about the Roman Empire when this happens.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Me too, but that's because I'm playing Crusader Kings

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Any breaks during CK3 make me forget which country the daughter was to be married to compared to the country who's line you were exterminating to get a title, yeah I need to sort that out before replying to a text about what flavour ice cream is the best. I do need to work on my memory though.

If it's recently, its probably helldiver's 2 in which case wait your fucking turn lady! He's risking his life to spread liberty and force democracy on godless bugs and soulless robots. THESE ARE IMPORTANT THINGS

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I kind of wish helldivers had more downtime so I wouldn't neglect my gf's texts as much

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

There's tons of downtime if you're trash like me! Two minute respawn timer hangout gang through and through

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Rock and stone for me. Also has bugs nad robots, but more capitalist ⛏️

Orrrrrr he has social anxiety and has difficulty replying.

Sincerely, somebody with social anxiety

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago (2 children)

This is me too. That and there is this stupid goddamn idea of "caring too much." Like responding quickly is a bad thing because it makes you seem desperate... Ffs I wouldn't be messaging you if I wasn't interested, but now I need to wait and play a stupid mind game so I don't lose the persons interest because they might assume that stupid thing about quick replies being a bad thing...

I hate mental games so freaking much...

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If the other person cares about silly games like this, they might not be that interested in taking to you.
